Abstract

We formulate a model describing the evolution of thickness in a shallow ice sheet lying over a lithosphere. The model is thus governed by a set of variational inequalities that involve nonlinearities in the time derivative and in the elliptic term. Solutions are constructed via a finite difference scheme in time.
